Third person's pov

Once upon a time, there was a shiny key named Taehyung and a beautiful lock named Jungkook. They lived in the same shop, waiting to be picked by someone.

One sunny day, a man named Yoongi bought both Taehyung and Jungkook. He took them home and then decided to use them after testing them once.

Yoongi put Jungkook in place and turned him with Taehyung. "Click!" Jungkook said, feeling snug with Taehyung inside him.

"Whoa, you look good in me," Jungkook exclaimed, surprised by how well Taehyung fit.

Taehyung chuckled. "I know, I look good in everyone."

"That's the reason, I never want compliment anyone, especially keys like you think that they are some special keys." Jungkook relied with an eye roll.

Taehyung just scoffed at Jungkook's words.

Soon Yoongi finished locking Jungkook. He put the keys in his pocket and prepared to leave.

" Bye, I will go and enjoy outside while you rot here."

" What's so special in staying in his smelly pocket, huh?" Jungkook barked back.

" For your kind information, his pocket smells great and there are other keys there as well."

Then soon Yoongi left with Taehyung and other keys in his pocket.

In the evening, when the sun was setting and the sky turned orange, Yoongi returned home. He reached into his pocket and took out Taehyung.

Yoongi inserted Taehyung into Jungkook, and Jungkook greeted him with an eye roll.

" Had fun being here all the time?" Taehyung asked with a smirk.

" Had fun in his smelly pocket?" Jungkook smirked back.

" Hey! I told you it's not smelly."

" Whatever!"

After a few seconds Yoongi unlocked Jungkook and opened the door. He went inside, placing both the lock and key on the table before disappearing into the house.

Taehyung and Jungkook both stayed silent for a few minutes and then Jungkook spoke with a different voice; it was a soft voice.

"So, Taehyung, have you ever felt as good inside somebody else besides me?"

Taehyung thought for a moment before replying, "Of course. There was this lock named Woonie. She fitted me perfectly."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Then what happened?"

"She broke."

"Well, good then."

Taehyung looked puzzled. "Why?"

Jungkook said, "Because if she hadn't broken, you wouldn't have met me." He winked at the last part.

Taehyung paused, considering this. "But she was better than you."

Jungkook's gears seemed to grind as he processed this insult. "Well, if she was better, then go back to her! Don't come inside me again!"

And so, the two began an argument, each throwing jabs at the other.

Taehyung retorted, "I'd rather be stuck in a rusty old lock than spend another minute with you!"

" You know what, Eunwoo was way better than you!" Jungkook said, more like shouted at Taehyung.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "Oh please, Jungkook! I highly doubt that."

Jungkook smirked. "Oh, it's true! I had way better keys than you. I had this key named Eunwoo, and let me tell you, he felt really good inside me. Way more good than you, Taehyung."

Taehyung gasped dramatically. "Eunwoo? That's just a basic name! I bet he was really ugly like you, now I know why you liked him!"

"Oh please, Taehyung. Eunwoo was anything but ugly. He was sleek, shiny, and oh so smooth. He glided in and out of me like a dream."

Taehyung scoffed. "Well, I don't believe you. You're just trying to make me jealous."

Jungkook blinked his eyes innocently. "Believe what you want, Taehyung. But the truth is, Eunwoo was the best key I ever had."

"Well, even if Eunwoo was so great, I bet he couldn't open half the doors I've unlocked!"

Soon, Jungkook grumbled, "Go to hell!" and then he fell asleep.

Taehyung shot back, "Fine, I will go there, but I bet even hell wouldn't accept you!" With that, he also drifted off to sleep.

The next day, as Yoongi was getting ready to leave for work, he inserted Taehyung into Jungkook. Jungkook groaned, "Ah, it feels really awful."

Taehyung replied, "As if it feels any good to me."

Then Yoongi left for work, and Taehyung and Jungkook were seprated once again.

At work, in Yoongi's pocket, Taehyung struck up a conversation with the other keys. One of them, named Jin, complained, "My lock Namjoon is such a dumbo. It's so hard to stay with him."

Taehyung nodded and began to vent about Jungkook. But Hoseok, another key, chimed in, "Nah, bro. I've seen Jungkook, and that lock is just heaven. He's so beautiful, and I bet it feels gold to be inside him."

Taehyung sighed, "Yeah, it does, but the problem is his attitude."

Hoseok shrugged, "That's just how pretty locks are sometimes. They come with a bit of attitude."

At night........

When Yoongi came back home, he opened Jungkook and placed the whole bunch of keys along with Jungkook on the table before leaving.

Then, out of nowhere, Yugy, one of the keys, started flirting with Jungkook. "Hey there, pretty," Yugy purred. "You're looking mighty fine today."

Jungkook, caught off guard, blushed a deep shade of red, though his metallic exterior didn't show it. "Um, thank you?" he stuttered, unsure of how to respond.

Yugy leaned in closer, "You know, Jungkook, I've always thought you were the most beautiful lock in the bunch. Your shiny surface, your sturdy build... you're just perfect."

"Uh, thanks, I guess. But, um, shouldn't you be flirting with your own lock?"

Yugy chuckled, a smooth sound that made Jungkook's gears spin. "Oh, I've got plenty of time for my lock. Right now, I'm more interested in you."

Taehyung, feeling jealous, spoke up. "Hey, Yugy! Don't you have your own lock that you're flirting with mine? Back off!"

Yugy smirked. "Oh, come on, Taehyung! Can't a key appreciate a beautiful lock when he sees one?"

"Not when it's my lock! Jungkook is mine, and only I should be the one flirting with him and coming inside him."

Jungkook chuckled nervously. "Wow, possessive much, Taehyung?"

"You're darn right, Jungkook! I am possessive because my lock should belong to me."

" Whatever you jealous ass, have him all by yourself and if possible eat him." Saying this yugy closed his eyes to sleep.

At night, when all the keys were fast asleep, Taehyung finally mustered up the courage to speak to Jungkook. "Hey, Jungkook," he whispered softly, trying not to wake the others. "Look, it's not that I like you very much, but you are my lock. Only mine. And I hate to see my lock flirting with others."

Jungkook turned to Taehyung, surprised by his words. "Then why don't you flirt with me?" he said, his tone teasing.

"Um I don't know your name so can I call you mine?" Taehyung said in the most romantic tone with a wink.

Jungkook couldn't help but cringe at the line, a shiver running down his metal spine. "Um, nevermind," he muttered quickly. "I think I'll just go to sleep now."

And with that, Jungkook turned away, hoping to forget Taehyung's failed attempt at romance and focus on getting some much-needed rest instead.

After a few days.......

After a long day, Yoongi was fast asleep, and outside, the moon hung high in the night sky. Jungkook and Taehyung, however, were wide awake, chatting quietly.

"You know," Taehyung whispered, "you're looking prettier today."

Jungkook chuckled softly. "I know, but I wish I could say the same about you."

Taehyung huffed, feeling a bit offended. "Hey! Have you seen other locks? They reply so sweet to their keys, and here you are."

Jungkook smirked. "Also, note that their keys are really hot."

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "You can look all over the world and never find a key as handsome as me."

"Blah, blah."

Suddenly, Taehyung's nose twitched. "Do you smell that?"

Jungkook frowned. "Smell what—wait, is that smoke?"

Taehyung's eyes widened in alarm. "I think it's coming from the kitchen! There might be a fire!"

Jungkook didn't waste a moment. "Yoongi, get up!" he shouted,

" YOONGI"

" YOONGIIIIIIIII"

" YOU BUMB ASS "

"Stop it bitch! It's not like he can hear you. You're going to break my eardrums!" Taehyung shouted.

"Right." Jungkook said as he realized that he can do anything except to make Yoongi up.

Jungkook's and Taehyung's position were like this:

Soon Taehyung noticed Yoongi rushing downstairs, panic clear on his face. "Look at Yoongi, he's coming!" Taehyung exclaimed.

Jungkook saw Yoongi hurrying down the stairs, "Oh no fuck," Yoongi muttered. "How did this happen?"

Without wasting a moment, Yoongi grabbed his wallet, car keys, phone, and some important belongings before rushing out of the house. Taehyung couldn't help but shout after him, "Oh, hello, mister! You have to take us out as well!"

Jungkook's voice joined Taehyung's, desperation creeping into his tone. "You bastard, come back!"

But Yoongi was already gone, disappearing into the night as the fire raged on. The flames grew larger, a piece of fire falling onto Jungkook and Taehyung, causing them to scream in pain.

"Yoongi, come here! Take us with you!" Jungkook shouted, his voice echoing through the house.

Taehyung shook his head. "No use..."

As the fire continued to engulf the room, they both began to melt, their metal bodies slowly liquefying in the intense heat.

"I don't want to melt," Jungkook cried out, tears streaming down his face.

"Do you think anyone would want that?"

"Even while melting, you can't be nice to me," Jungkook sobbed, feeling utterly hopeless.

Taehyung felt bad for Jungkook for the first time, although he was also melting with him.

"Oh, my lock, don't cry," Taehyung said gently, trying to soothe Jungkook. "I was trying to che-eer you up."

"Cheering me up?" Jungkook shouted. "Taehyung, we are literally melting!"

"It doesn't matter," Taehyung said softly, "I am with you, my lock. Close your eyes and relax. I am here."

Hearing Taehyung's words, Jungkook closed his eyes. They were now almost completely melted, their forms blending together in a pool of molten metal.

"You are the most handsome key I have ever met," Jungkook whispered.

"And you are the most beautiful lock, my Jungkook," Taehyung replied tenderly. "I would want to be your key in my other life."

And then, with those final words of love, they both closed their eyes and surrendered to the fire, their bodies melting away until there was nothing left but a puddle of metal on the floor.

"In the heat of flames, they melted as one, Locked in love's embrace, their journey done."
